L/W = 1.000 P/W = 0.435 C/W = 0.309
H/W = (P+C)/W+0.02 = 0.764 P/H = 0.569 C/H = 0.405
Vol./W^3 = 0.342

Addition # 10 - A table can be cut on a large stone. This is a quick, easy cut with a very nice flower type of flash. Cut this in refractive indexes 1.54 to 2.14 with no changes. About any stone saturation works well, I prefer lighter colors. Note: The C2 only meets at the corners, just float the other facets in as evenly as you can. A table can be cut in on larger stones.
